Bomb blast kills two police near Afghan training academy
 [Dawn] A roadside kaboom blast killed two coppers in Herat...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province of western Afghanistan, just hours before a ceremony to hand a nearby police training academy over from NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... to Afghan control, Afghan authorities said. Raouf Ahmedi, a front man for the Afghan police commander for the western region, said one of the coppers killed in Saturday's kaboom was a teacher at the academy in Adraskan district. He said two other coppers were maimed by the remote-controlled bomb that went kaboom!as their vehicle passed. Last week, a bomb in a parked cycle of violence went kaboom!outside the training centre, killing two security guards. Posted by: Fred 2012-09-30 |
